Default 205/60/15

Hi guys,


Do you think I could easily fit 205/60/15 tires under a lowered civic ?

They are 8.6% bigger than OEM 175/70/13 tires.

I can easily stuff 205/50/15 azenis w/o any kind of rubbing.

They would be for winter driving. Nothing hardcore.

All I want is no rubbing. I am pretty sure they would fit perfect...but I want to know right before buying...

thanks

Patrick

my 205/50/15s rub at full lock so i can only assume by increasing the outer diameter a bit you're going to rub even more.

No.

Remember, for winter driving, NARROWER tires do better on snow and ice than wider tires. The best thing you can do for your Civic in winter is to use the stock 175/70-13. Besides, you probably have the original 13" steel wheels sitting around getting rusty, and this would be a good use for them. (Or you can get a used set for cheap.)
